Answer
New employees or students should receive a NetID automatically. However, there are some circumstances under which you might need to request one.
Requesting a Guest NetID
A sponsored individual is one who is not listed as an employee (faculty or staff) by HR, is not a registered student for a current or future term in Banner (NEST), and is not scheduled to teach a class for a current or future term in Banner. A request from a current faculty or staff member is required to sponsor an individual. Sponsored individual accounts are limited in duration and the resources they have access to.
Some examples of sponsored individuals include (but are not limited to):
- Emeritus Faculty
- Visiting or volunteer Faculty
- Summer groups such as IPF or Upward Bound
- Vendors or Contractors
- Temporary or other workers not paid by HR/Payroll
How to Sponsor an Individual
Only current faculty and staff can sponsor a sponsored individual account.
- To sponsor a guest, login to https://ami.creighton.edu
- Select Request Access on the Application Tab.
- Click Sponsored Individual. Note: Notice you are now on the Access tab.
- First search to see if the individual has an existing account.
- If they have an account, click their name to auto fill their existing information.
- If they don’t have an account, fill in the needed Guest Info.
- Carefully fill in the information for the individuals affiliation to Creighton, Email and Calendar, and access dates.
- Requests for sponsored individuals require you to identify both and start and end dates for access.
- Your information will automatically be filled into the Sponsor Info section.
- Click Submit.
- You will receive an email when the request is completed.
- Once you have submitted the request, you will be informed of the individuals' UserID One Time Password (OTP) needed for activation, and the expiration date. You will also receive the information via email. If you have entered an email address for the individual, he/she will also receive an email. The account will be provisioned overnight and should be available by the next day. Your sponsored individual will need to go to AMI to activate his/her account before it can be used
Sponsor Responsibilities
As the sponsor of the account you are responsible for ensuring that it is used in accordance with all applicable university policies, including the Fair and Acceptable Use Policy. Failure to do so may result in loss of network or account privileges.
As a sponsor you are also responsible for ensuring that the account is only active while it is needed.. Approximately one week before a guest account expires, you as the sponsor will get an email notifying you of the pending expiration and giving you the option of extending it.
